Storyline

The Priority Murder Squad investigate the murder of Karen Bevas who, along with her chef-husband Paul, ran a recently-opened five-star restaurant. She had been stabbed repeatedly and had her throat slit. There is no shortage of suspects in the case. Her husband is something of a hothead who is always flying off the handle and he could have easily killed her in a fit of temper. Brenda then learns that Dennis Dutton with whom she had to deal previously was the restaurant's principal financial backer and he too could have killed her. As she investigates Dutton Brenda finds he has an iron-clad alibi as he was having dinner with well-known restaurant critic Tom Newman at the time of the murder. Convinced that Dutton is guilty, she leans on Newman to see if the alibi he's providing him will stand up. Written by
